Doctors’ responses
Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your health journey, Farida ji I truly understand how frustrating and distending can be when a condition keeps coming back despite taking alopathi medicines, especially when it concerns the phrase, something so personal and sensitive it can impact not just your physical comfort, but also your confidence emotional well-being. I’m glad you’re exploring deeper and more holistic path through Ayurveda .
Let me begin by saying that recurrent skin infection, especially when they respond temporary to antibiotic or antifungal creams and then return or often a sign that there is some deeper imbalance in the bodies internal system in Ayurveda, the skin is not seen in isolation. It is considered as a mirror of the inner tissues balance of DOSHAS and the strength of Agni that is digestive fire and the purity of RAKTA. So when we see chronic or relaxing skin infection, we start our evaluation from within.
From what you have described, it seems that you are suffering from a condition that maybe rooted in PITTA and RAKTA DUSHTI (vitiation of the pitta Dosha and blood tissue) of an aggravated by AMA(untested material formed due to poor digestion) and sometimes KPHA involvement as well, especially if there isoozing swelling or pus formation , recurrent use of antibiotics can suppress the symptoms temporarily, but they do not address the route Doshi imbalance, which is why the issues tend to come back
No, before I suggest any line of treatment or guidance, I would indeed like to see a photo of the affected area … this will help me the nature of the lesion, whether it is dry or wet, red or dark oozing or scaly, spreading or localised As it is not possible to upload the photo , you can describe to my above questions Meanwhile, I would like to ask you a few more questions to understand your condition in depth
When the infection appears, do you feel any itching burning or pain in the area? Does it increase with eight heat exposure to sun or spicy or oily food? Do you suffer from constipation, acidity or irregular digestion? Have you had any history of skin conditions in the past, like eczema, acne or fungal infections? Are there any other symptoms you are currently facing like tiredness why discharge joint pain or excessive sweating? What type of work do you do and is there any exposure to chemicals or heat? Is there any stress, sleep, disturbance, or emotional burden that you feel could be affecting your health?
This questions may seem a bit, but in Ayurveda, we always treat the root cause so the more i understand your internal environment and lifestyle. The better I can help you. No based on general principles of Ayurvedic dermatology year is a brief line of the approach we take
Shodhana(detoxification)
If your condition has been recurring for three months, it means internal toxins and doshik imbalances are deeply seated Panchkarma therapy, especially Virechana raktamoshana (bloodletting) is extremely beneficial in conditions involving recurrent PITTA RAKTA vitiation If you are open to visiting a local Ayurvedic Panchkarma Centre, this can be explode under supervision
Shamana chikitsa (internal medicine) Treatment plan
Mahamanjistadi aristha - Khadira aristha- 2 teaspoon each with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Arogyavardini vati -one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Gandhak rasayana -twice daily after food with warm water Helpful in recurrent infections and immunity support Neemghan vati-twice daily after food with warm water
After confirming your symptoms, then I may adjust accordingly, if required, I will add Local application—
Triphala churna + turmeric can apply for anti bacterial effects Jatyadi taila -for external application Paste of fresh name, leaves along with turmeric and sandalwood paste can be applied all over face
Diet and lifestyle —
This part is very crucial and often neglected. I would advise.
To avoid curd cheese, Paneer and fermented food Spicy, oily, deep, fried, and sore food Tomatoes, brinjal, and non-veg, especially selfish, or red meat Ex tea / coffee, especially late in the day Day time, sleep, and late night walking
Include warm water with coriander seeds Plenty of vegetables 8 teaspoon of cow GHEE daily for internal cooling Seasonal fruits like papaya, pomegranate, and Gava, avoid citrus, if burning is present Turmeric milk at night, if no burning or pitta symptoms
Also, try to manage stress and sleep well, emotions like anger, frustration, and anxiety can aggravate PITTA and worse skin issues
Immunity and long-term support Recurrent infections are often a sign of low humidity apart from gandhak rasayan you may also benefit from CHYWANPRASH (if there is no kapha aggravation) Ashwagandha or Shatavari, depending upon your energy and hormonal profile Do regular walking simple Pranayam and meditation to strengthen your mind body connection If possible, write back with answers to the questions, I have asked that will help me customise a complete treatment plan for you. One that doesn’t just surprise the symptoms, but truly approves the cause of this recurring problems. I want you to know that Ayurvedic treatment is not about quick fixes, but about long lasting balances with some patience regularity in your bodies ability to you can absolutely overcome this condition from its root. I am here to support you every step of the way. So finally, I just want to say that do not lose hope by following the three fundamentals that is lifestyle changes that modification and Ayurvedic medicines, you will get a positive results within a few weeks.

It seems you’re dealing with a persistent fungal infection around the eyes, lips, and cheeks. From an Ayurvedic perspective, recurring fungal infections could be linked to an imbalance in the kapha and pitta doshas, which may lead to excessive moisture and heat in your body. Addressing this through diet, lifestyle, and herbal applications can be beneficial.
Firstly, emphasize a kapha-pacifying diet that avoids excessive sugar, dairy, and oily foods, as these can increase moisture and serve as a breeding ground for fungus. Focus on lighter meals, including warm, cooked foods with spices like ginger and turmeric known for their antifungal properties.
From a topical standpoint, you might consider applying pastes made of neem powder and sandalwood with a little bit of water, known for their cooling, antimicrobial qualities. Apply daily on affected areas and wash off after it dries up, about 20-30 minutes.
Incorporate Trikatu, (a traditional Ayurvedic formula consisting of black pepper, long pepper, and dried ginger) to enhance your digestive fire, or agni. Take around 500mg with honey before meals, but check with an Ayurvedic practitioner to make sure it’s suitable for your body constitution.
Maintain hygiene by changing pillowcases and towels regularly. Keep skin dry, especially after washing.
Since you’ve mentioned that the issue resurfaced despite prior treatment, you may want to explore Panchakarma therapies, such as virechana (a therapeutic purgation), which cleanses internal toxins, but should be undertaken under a qualified Ayurvedic physician’s guidance.
Should symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to consult with healthcare provider who can assess and monitor your progress. Ayurvedic remedies are complementary and should be used along with necessary medical care.
